PREFACE. 


In  issuing  this  Catalogue  a  word  of  introduction  seems  appropriate. 
As  originally  contemplated,  the  idea  was  to  hold  at  the  University 
Library  an  exhibition  simply  of  its  own  treasures,  acquired  by  pur- 
chase and  by  the  generosity  of  friends,  together  with  such  other  rare 
or  beautiful  books  as  were  within  easy  reach.  But  a  more  compre- 
hensive plan  was  developed,  to  include  as  many  kinds  of  printed  work 
as  might  be  found  accessible,  and,  as  far  as  practicable,  to  illustrate 
the  history  of  the  typographic  art  in  various  countries. 

For  its  realization,  incomplete  as  it  will  appear  to  those  conversant 
with  the  subject,  special  acknowledgments  are  due  the  numerous 
contributors,  whose  names  appear  below;  and  a  certain  self-gratula- 
tion  may  be  pardoned  us  as  book-lovers  in  glancing  over  a  list  of  so 
many  rare  works — a  fair  representation,  not  in  numbers,  but  in  kind, 
of  what  is  on  the  coast.  Not  in  numbers;  for  lack  of  space  alone 
prevented  the  presence  of  several  hundred  other  volumes  of  perhaps 
equal  significance,  these  likewise  being  but  a  selection  from  among 
thousands.  One  work  may  represent  a  decade;  a  single  engraving, 
its  class. 

The  exhibition  divided  itself  naturally  into  three  parts:  printing, 
book  illustration,  book  binding.

4  Preface. 

The  printed  books,  preceded  by  specimens  of  xylography  and  calli- 
graphy, were  ordered  by  countries  and  in  chronological  sequence;  and 
in  this  list  the  same  arrangement  prevails.  Again,  the  different  kinds 
of  illustration,  and  incidentally  the  various  species  of  wood  and  metal 
engraving,  were  shown.  Thirdly,  an  exemplification  of  the  materials 
and  ornamentation  of  the  costume  of  books  was  attempted. 

To  those  who  may  have  derived  pleasure  in  viewing  the  collection, 
this  Catalogue  will  afford  additional  gratification.  To  those  whom 
opportunity  did  not  favor,  and  to  others  of  distant  States  and  future 
times,  it  may  be  typical  of  the  printed  literary  treasures  now  existent 
in  this  part  of  California,  and  indicative  of  the  taste  and  culture  of  a 
large  portion  of  our  citizens.  No  surer  token  of  the  character  of  a 
community  is  perceptible  than  that  which  appears  in  the  number  and 
quality  of  the  books  it  possesses.

OPENING  ADDRESS 


Prokkssor  AIvBKRt  S.  Cook. 


Ladies  and  Gentlemen,  Friends  of  Learning  and  of  the  Uni- 
versity :  The  love  of  Californians  for  California,  the  love  of  the 
scholar  for  the  Castalian  founts  of  wisdom,  of  the  antiquary  for  the 
precious  memorials  bequeathed  by  remote  ages,  of  the  artisan  for 
unrivaled  specimens  of  accurate  handiwork,  of  the  artist  for  what  is 
rare  and  exquisite  in  his  art,  of  the  evolutionist  for  the  landmarks  of 
progress,  and  of  the  philanthropist  for  whatever  is  conducive  to  the 
welfare  of  human  kind,  all  are  fitly  and  admirably  expressed  in  this 
exhibition  of  the  book  arts,  and  in  your  presence  here  this  morning. 

When  Prospero  is  recounting  to  Miranda  the  story  of  former  pros- 
perity and  greatness,  of  his  brother's  treachery  and  the  abandonment 
of  father  and  infant  daughter  to  the  perils  of  the  deep,  our  indigna- 
tion at  the  black  ingratitude  of  Antonio  is  quelled  for  a  moment  by 
the  touch  of  Gonzalo's  humanity,  and  we  pause  to  rejoice  with  the 
simple-hearted  master  of  nature  and  explorer  of  men's  souls,  as  he 
dwells  on  the  crowning  kindness  of  his  loyal  servitor : 

"  So,  of  his  gentleness, 
Knowing  I  loved  my  books,  be  ftimish'd  me, 
From  mine  own  library,  with  Tolumes  that 
I  prize  above  my  dukedom." 


8  Opening  Address  by 


In  his  attachment  to  literature  and  enthusiastic  cherishing  of  the 
symbols  and  instruments  of  its  might,  the  gentle-souled  wizard  stands 
not  alone.  He  is  but  one  in  a  procession  of  magnanimous  devotees 
and  patrons  of  learning,  of  whom  none  is  more  real,  though  none  is 
so  mythical  as  himself,  and  whose  names  glow  with  a  purer  radiancy 
that,  in  every  age,  they  have  been  less  numerous  than  select.  The 
bead-roll  includes  such  monarchs  as  Ptolemy  Soter  and  Ptolemy 
Philadelphus,  of  the  land  famous  for  its  wisdom  even  in  the  time  of 
Moses,  Hiero  of  Syracuse,  Augustus  of  Rome,  and  Alfred  of  England; 
poets  like  the  austere  singer  of  the  Inferno,  the  laureate  Petrarch,  and 
the  soul-illumined  Milton,  royal  and  noble  collectors  like  Humphrey, 
Duke  of  Gloucester,  Charles  the  Fifth  of  France,  Philip  the  Good  of 
Burgundy,  and  Lorenzo  the  Magnificent  of  Florence ;  scholars  like 
Bluntschli,  whose  historical  library  has  but  recently  been  presented  by 
the  citizens  of  Baltimore  to  the  John  Hopkins  University,  or  like 
Lieber  and  Benfey,  whose  stores  have  contributed  to  the  gracing  of 
these  alcoves;  librarians  like  Panizzi  of  the  British  Museum,  not  to 
mention  distinguished  contemporaries  in  our  own  country,  and  bene- 
factors of  humanity  like  him  within  whose  walls  we  stand,  and  him 
whose  munificence  has  made  this  rotunda  a  scene  of  varied  and  pro- 
ductive industry,  and  to  whom  we  are  indebted  for  the  most  consider- 
able yearly  accessions  to  the  number  of  these  volumes. 

These  latter  names  I  need  not  mention ;  it  is  enough  to  say  of 
them,  "6/'  monumentum quceris,  circumspice"  I  have  spoken  above  of 
the  cherishing  of  books  as  the  symbols  and  instruments  of  the  might 
of  literature.  Symbols  and  instruments,  I  say,  though  in  logical 
strictness  it  would  be  preferable  to  say  instruments  and  symbols. 
The  distinction  is  a  useful  one,  and  it  is  the  principle  upon  which 
bibliography  is  divided  into  two  heads  :    intellectual  and  material. 


Professor  Albert  S.  Cook.  9 

Books  may  be  prized  for  a  virtue  with  which  they  are  replete,  and 
which  they  communicate  to  every  reader  in  proportion  to  his  intelli- 
gence and  receptivity.  It  is  in  this  sense  that  Milton  speaks  of  them 
in  these  notable  words :  "  Books  are  not  absolutely  dead  things, 
but  do  contain  a  potency  of  life  in  them  to  be  as  active  as  that  soul 
whose  progeny  they  are ;  nay,  they  do  preserve  as  in  a  vial  the  finest 
efficacy  and  extraction  of  the  living  intellect  that  bred  them."  It  is 
this  potency  in  books,  a  dormant  energy  ready  at  any  moment  to  be 
converted  into  actual,  resistless  power,  only  to  become  once  more 
static  in  the  equilibrium  of  the  accomplished  deed,  which  is  even  now 
turning  the  gaze  of  American  educators  and  the  American  people  upon 
the  spiritual  treasures  bequeathed  us  by  our  English  ancestry.  To 
awaken  a  quenchless  ardor  in  the  discovery  and  application  of  truth ; 
to  kindle  within  the  breast  a  flame  which  shall  consume  all  that  is  vile 
and  creeping  and  venomous ;  to  cultivate  the  fancy,  refine  the  heart, 
and  present  noble  objects  to  the  imagination ;  this,  if  we  likewise 
include  their  services  as  the  vehicles  of  instruction,  is  the  function  of 
books  considered  as  literature. 

But  books  that  are  without  great  intrinsic  merit  may  yet  become 
valuable  and  almost  priceless  as  symbols.  There  is  a  factitious  esti- 
mation in  which  things  are  held,  simply  because  of  their  rarity,  and 
it  is  no  doubt  true  that  many  a  collector  has  been  induced  to  pay  a 
high  price  for  a  trumpery  volume,  merely  on  account  of  its  being  one 
of  a  very  small  edition,  and  without  regard  to  its  significance  in  the 
history  of  culture.  But  the  values  attached  to  the  earliest  printed 
works  ultimately  depend  upon  the  growing  importance  of  literature 
considered  as  dynamic  and  illuminative.  With  every  extension  of 
the  intellectual  horizon,  with  every  arrow  shot  by  the  sun  of  knowledge 

into  some  murky  comer  of  the  universe,  with  every  new  device  for

lo  Opening  Address  by 

imparting  the  genial  and  quickening  influences  of  literature  to  souls 
imbruted  by  ignorance  and  sunk  in  bestiality,  there  is  an  increase  in 
the  number  of  those  who  regard  the  inventors  of  printing  with  curios- 
ity and  admiration,  and  consequently  a  more  numerous  band  of  com- 
petitors for  the  earliest  productions  of  famous  presses. 

The  Valdarfer  Decameron,  originally  obtained  for  loo  guineas  by 
an  ancestor  of  the  Duke  of  Roxburghe,  brought  2,260  pounds  ster- 
ling at  the  sale  of  the  Duke's  library  in  181 2.  In  1682  fourteen 
Caxtons  sold  for  £,2,  15s.  yd.,  while  in  18 12  twelve  volumes  of  the 
same  press  were  disposed  of  for  ;^2,95i,  and  one  volume  alone  was 
purchased  for  ;^i,o6o.  This  appreciation  in  value  cannot  be  ac- 
counted for  by  the  superior  fineness  of  paper,  presswork,  or  binding, 
since  the  delicacy  and  beauty  of  the  best  modern  printing  is  not 
greatly  surpassed  by  the  most  painstaking  of  the  early  typographers. 
Nor  are  its  causes  to  be  found  alone  in  the  larger  fortunes  of  modern 
collectors,  which  enable  them  more  easily  to  gratify  expensive  tastes, 
or  in  the  gradual  destruction  of  rarities,  enhancing  the  value  of  those 
that  remain.  Rather  are  they  to  be  traced  to  a  wider  appreciation  of 
the  symbolic  character  belonging  to  such  volumes  as  unique  repre- 
sentatives of  the  art  preservative  of  all  arts — as  trophies  erected  by 
those  Argonauts  who  had  ventured  upon  an  unknown  sea  and  had 
returned  with  spoils  won  by  their  own  hardihood  and  persistence,  but 
which  were  to  enrich  the  common  brotherhood  of  man. 

Time  would  fail  to  give  even  the  briefest  sketch  of  the  invention 
and  history  of  the  typographic  art.  Like  other  arts,  its  beginnings 
were  humble.  The  first  attempts  were  crude,  and  success  was  pur- 
chased only  at  the  cost  of  repeated  failures.  Europe  seems  to  have 
derived  its  first  ideas  upon  this,  as  upon  so  many  other  subjects,  from 
the  Orient.     Wafted  over  land  and  sea,  men  knew  not  how,  they  took

root  in  the  new  soil,  and  in  time  grew  into  a  wonderful  harvest. 
Travelers  from  far  Cathay,  like  Marco  Polo  and  Mandeville,  may 
have  brought  home  tales  of  the  Chinese  playing  cards,  of  their  block 
books,  or  even  of  the  printing  done  by  means  of  porcelain  types. 
But,  however  various  the  hypotheses,  or  conflicting  the  accounts, 
modern  authorities  are  practically  unanimous  in  awarding  the  highest 
meed  of  praise  to  John  Gutenberg,  the  patient  artificer  of  Mainz. 
To  him,  more  than  to  any  other  man,  are  we  indebted  for  the  regu- 
larity with  which  the  newspaper,  that  daily  epitome  of  the  world's 
history,  is  laid  at  our  doors,  for  the  multiplication  of  books  on  every 
conceivable  subject  of  human  interest,  and  for  the  spread  of  those 
free  institutions  which  ever  go  hand  in  hand  with  true  enlightenment. 
So  long  as  it  was  necessary  to  copy  books  with  the  pen,  they  were 
practically  out  of  the  reach  of  the  multitude.  In  1274a  laborer  could 
have  a  fairly  written  Bible  only  at  the  cost  of  seventeen  years  of  inces- 
sant toil,  and  then  only  by  devoting  every  penny  of  his  wages  to  this 
object.  It  is  needless  to  say  that  this  was  impossible,  and  that  hence  it 
was  virtually  beyond  his  power  ever  to  own  a  copy  of  the  Scriptures. 
Alcuin,  one  of  the  most  celebrated  scholars  of  his  age,  and,  -as  we 
should  say,  minister  of  education  to  the  Emperor  Charlemagne,  occu- 
pied himself  twenty-two  years  in  making  a  copy  of  the  Bible  for  that 
monarch.  Books  were  still  expensive  after  the  introduction  of  print- 
ing, and  the  reason  will  be  apparent  when  we  are  told  that  the  skins 
of  three  hundred  sheep  were  required  for  every  copy  of  the  first  printed 
Bible.  But  the  prices  rapidly  fell,  especially  after  paper  was  substituted 
for  vellum.  Hallam  calculates  that  a  saving  of  four  fifths  was  effected 
by  the  use  of  typography,  and  another  authority  states  that  the  price 
of  a  book,  which  would  have  cost  one  hundred  golden  crowns  in 
manuscript,  was  reduced  to  four  pieces  of  the  same  denomination. 

The  golden  age  of  printing  followed.     A  knowledge  of  the  "divine 
art,"  as  the  printer  Jensen  called  it,  was  rapidly  disseminated  through-

out  Europe,  thus  proving  that  the  discovery  had  come  none  too  early. 
The  Italians  soon  became  celebrated  for  the  clearness,  accuracy, 
and  elegance  of  their  impressions. 

Thirty  years  after  Gutenberg  had  elaborated  his  invention,  the  fall 
of  Constantinople  had  dispersed  Greek  scholars  throughout  western 
Europe.  Most  of  them  sought  refuge  in  Italy,  and  thus  became  instru- 
mental in  inaugurating  the  revival  of  ancient  learning.  About  this  time 
Aldus  began  his  career  in  Venice,  and  gave  to  the  world  the  first  of  that 
long  series  of  editiones  principes  of  the  Greek  authors  which  has  given 
his  name  such  celebrity.  Before  15 16,  over  sixty  works  in  the  Greek 
language  had  issued  from  the  Aldine  press,  besides  a  number  in  Latin. 
Of  these  the  present  exhibition  contains  the  Euripides  of  1503,  and 
the  Catullus  of  1502.  Nearer  home,  under  the  shadow  of  England's 
monumental  abbey,  where  repose  the  bones  of  her  greatest,  and 
whither  the  feet  of  all  Americans  who  touch  her  shores  first  tend, 
Caxton,  returning  from  Bruges  and  Cologne,  where  he  had  acquainted 
himself  with  the  mysteries  of  printing,  and  already  begun  its  prac- 
tice on  his  own  account,  set  up  the  first  English  press.  Here  he 
was  to  print  Malory's  "Morte  d'Arthur,"  the  first  edition  of  Chaucer, 
and  several  thousand  folio  pages  besides,  including  many  translations 
of  his  own.  Here  among  other  works  he  was  to  print  a  translation  by 
Earl  Rivers,  a  brother-in-law  of  King  Edward  the  Fourth,  entitled 
"The  Dictes  and  Sayinges  of  the  Philosophres,"  of  which  a  fac-simile 
is  here  awaiting  your  examination.  It  was  not  till  1638,  two  years 
after  the  founding  of  Harvard  College,  that  a  printing  office  was 
established  in  the  English  Colonies,  and  it  was  from  this  office  at 
Cambridge,  Massachusetts,  that  Stephen  Daye  put  forth  in  the  follow- 
ing year  a  work  bearing  the  significant  title  of  "The  Freeman's  Oath." 

The  passion  of  collecting  and  preserving  antique  books,  and  such  as 
are  remarkable  for  some  peculiar  excellence,  is  sometimes  character- 
ized as  bibliomania,  and  those  who  are  denominated  bibliomaniacs

the  public  view,  and  often  from  the  sight  of  the  owner  himself.  Such 
charges  could  not,  it  is  evident,  be  seriously  brought  against  those 
who  have  contributed  to  the  present  exhibition.  Their  standing  in 
the  church,  in  the  legal,  medical,  and  other  professions,  and  in  the 
community,  would  be  a  sufficient  answer  to  an  insinuation  like  the 
former,  and  the  generosity  and  public  spirit  evinced  in  the  hearty  co- 
operation of  all  to  whom  the  project  has  been  mentioned,  and  in 
the  loan  of  rare  and  priceless  volumes,  that  the  owners  might  share 
their  enjoyment  with  the  whole  public,  would  completely  overthrow  a 
hypothesis  like  the  latter. 

Unquestionably,  the  term  bibliomaniac  is  often  misapplied ;  a  better 
designation  would  be  bibliophilist,  or  lover  of  books,  Why  should 
anyone  think  it  any  discredit  to  say,  with  the  Emperor  Julian :  "Some 
are  lovers  of  horses,  some  of  birds,  and  some  of  wild  beasts,  but  it 
has  been  my  ardent  longing,  from  my  earliest  boyhood,  to  be  a  col- 
lector and  owner  of  books."  And,  if  of  books,  why  not  of  those 
that  are  all  concerned  in  beholding  and  inspecting,  that  mark  the 
gradual  perfection  of  an  art  that  has  had  a  powerful  agency  in  laying 
broad  the  foundations  of  popular  government,  insuring  public  order 
and  tranquillity,  and  diffusing  far  and  wide  the  invitations  and  bene- 
dictions of  religion? 

What  though  the  beginnings  be  rude,  the  black-letter  difficult  to 
decipher,  and  the  wood-cuts  bordering  upon  caricature?  Consider 
the  difficulties  with  which  these  heroic  souls,  these  ministers  of  cul- 
ture, were  forced  to  contend,  and  the  smile  of  derision  will  give  place 
to  sentiments  of  admiration  and  gratitude. 

The  embellishments  and  rich  bindings  of  more  modern  books 
deserve  passing  notice.     It  may  be  doubted  whether  the  inexpensive

publications  which  bring  knowledge  within  reach  of  the  poorest  have 
not  rendered  us  indiflferent  to  the  proper  correspondences,  the  grace- 
ful harmonies,  between  the  subject-matter  of  a  volume  and  its 
external  adornment.     Shakespeare  has  said : 

"  That  book  in  many's  eyes  doth  share  the  glory 
That  ill  gold  clasps  locks  in  the  golden  story." 

And  a  writer  of  the  seventeenth  century  has  the  following  pithy  sen- 
tence :  "Suffer  them  not  to  lie  neglected  who  must  make  you  regarded; 
nor  to  go  in  torn  coats,  who  must  apparel  your  mind  with  the  orna- 
ments of  knowledge  above  the  robes  and  riches  of  the  most  magnificent 
princes."  These  words  contain  a  principle  worthy  of  being  regarded. 
It  is,  that  learning  deserves  the  homage  of  riches;  that  the  shrines 
whence  the  immortal  dead  confer  healing  scarcely  less  than  miraculous 
upon  the  living,  may  be  fitly  adorned  with  gold  and  curiously  chased 
wrappages,  and  that  the  oracles  which  reveal  the  future,  explain  the 
present,  and  throw  a  backward  light  upon  the  past,  may  well  be  fenced 
about  with  carven  ivory,  and  screened  with  coverings  wrought  in 
crimson  and  in  blue. 

But  to  detain  you  here  with  listening  to  justifications  and  encomi- 
ums of  what  you  are  presently  to  see  would  be  a  work  of  supereroga- 
tion. The  taste  and  liberality  of  citizens  of  California  have  placed 
before  you  this  array  of  books  and  manuscripts  for  inspection  and 
study ;  the  Librarian  who  presides  at  this  desk  has  been  indefatigable 
in  collecting  them,  in  guarding  them  from  injury,  in  classifying  them 
and  ascertaining  their  history ;  the  committee  of  the  Regents  have 
lent  the  enterprise  their  sanction  and  encouragement;  and  the  Uni- 
versity, recognizing  in  this  assemblage  a  sign  of  hopeful  augury  for 
the  future  of  scholarship  upon  the  Pacific  Coast,  extends  to  you, 
through  me,  a  cordial  greeting.  In  the  name  of  the  University,  then, 
I  declare  this  exhibition  open,  and  bid  you  welcome.

Note  on  Mexican  Printing. — The  earliest  printing  in  America  was  done  in 
Mexico,  and  the  first  book  was  iwssibly  the  "Escala  espiritual"  of  1536.  Joannes 
Paulua  Brixianus,  the  printer  of  the  "Ordinationes"  (1549),  (cited  by  Brunei, 
Graesse.  and  others),  styles  himself  "typographus  primus  in  hac  magna  civitate 
Mexici."  Harrisse  (Bibl.  Amer.  vetus.,  pp.  373,  433)  denies  the  existence  of  an 
"Ordinationes"  in  Latin  of  1549,  which  passed  for  some  years  as  the  first  Amer- 
ican printed  book.  The  first  work,  now  extant,  is  the  Manual  de  Adultos,  printed 
in  1540  by  Juan  Cromberger.

Note  on  Francis  Bedford. — Born  in  1799,  Bedford  first  worked  with  Charles 
Lewis,  and  afterwards  was  associated  with  John  Clarke.  In  his  inlaid  and  highly 
ornamental  work  he  did  no  more  than  cojiy  the  designs  of  predecessors.  His  work 
was  solid  and  tasteful,  but  lacks  the  delicacy  of  finish  of  the  best  French  binders. 
Bedford  died  Juno  8, 1883,  and  his  private  library  has  lately  been  sold  at  large 
prices

Note  on  Cloth  Binding. — Cloth  binding  is  an  exclusively  English  invention, 
being  originated  in  1825  by  Archibald  Leighton.  The  first  books  published  in 
stamped  or  ornamented  covers  of  cloth  were  Knight's  Penny  Cyclopaedia  and  Penny 
Magazine.  The  beautiful  and  the  gaiish  in  modern  cloth  ornamentation  can  be 
fully  seen  on  any  bookseller's  counters.
